And it feels so decadent! Lucas has a very early wakeup time, because he has to be on a job site before sunrise! I hate it when we don’t go to bed together, so he’s on his way to dreamland and I’m watching trashy TV. And busting out a quick blog post.
A big day of food for me, starting with Cascadian Farms kids cinnamon crunch cereal, which although delicious did NOT keep me full for very long:
So I broke my normal no-coffee-on-weekdays rule:
And that held me over for an amazing lunch — an egg sandwich on leftover focaccia bread:
Mmmmm, toasty. I also had a bunch of veggies and some kettle corn.
I had thawed some salmon for dinner, but didn’t feel like the same ol’ grilled preparation. So, I stopped by an Asian grocery store on the way home from work and did homemade sushi!
This was pretty good — I need a sharper knife and a real bamboo roller thing. I used saran wrap and a flexible cutting board and made do, but the rolls started to fall apart when I cut them.
I had a ton of leftovers, so I’ll be munching on these rolls for lunch and dinner tomorrow, most likely.
Time for blogger truth? I went a little nuts after dinner. I was listless, a little bored and basically unfulfilled by dinner — so I hit the pantry pretty hard. Cookies, an apple with barney butter, some cereal and almond milk … ouch. When the binge monster comes on, it’s like I know what’s happening, I just don’t have the power to stop it. I eat way past a comfortable feeling, and basically have to wait until the monster is done.
I notice it most on days when I work out, which is … well, almost every day. This morning, I got up and did a 4-mile run before work. I’m not sure if I should just eat a bigger breakfast on my workout days, or just force myself to stop eating at 9pm? I’d love to hear any advice you have.
Tomorrow’s another day, and I refuse to feel defeated. Here’s to a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
that looks so good-did you use brown rice?
Yup! I love brown rice with sushi — I just reduce the water by a teeny bit when cooking to make it extra sticky, then toss it with some rice vinegar.
Yum! I love making sushi. I just bought some more Nori to make some this week. We haven’t mastered the art of the inside-out sushi (rice on the outside) yet. But it’s fun to play.
If I am going to get the munchies, it’s in the evenings. I wish I had wonderful words of wisdom to share, but I don’t. I definitely understand the out of control feeling. fortunately it doesn’t happen to often anymore. But it used to and I would go to bed with the worst stomach aches…..and of course, couldn’t sleep because if it! I get up early, so I go to bed pretty early. That helps. It also helps me to brush my teeth…nothing tasts as good after I’ve brushed my teeth.
New day today….and leftover sushi to enjoy!
I have that Cascadian Farms cereal on hand for snacking, and I agree that it tastes amazing but does nill for tiding my hunger.
I got such a kick out of your before/during/after coffee photos

Way to go with the homemade sushi! My mother-in-law gave us a kit a while back, and I have yet to break it open. I really should sometime soon!
